Shocking fact: Obama actually won New Hampshire.

Election results as published by CNN ^ | 1/9/08 | Dangus (Vanity)

As surely as Al Gore didn't win the presidential election in 2000, Hillary Clinton didn't win the New Hampshire primary in 2008. George Bush won the most electoral votes, so he won the 2000 election. And no reporter who has ever mentioned campaigning for specific states or electoral votes can ever pretend that this was somehow unfair. Likewise, Obama won New Hampshire, 12 votes to 11, if CNN's accounting can be relied upon.

Meanwhile, Clinton can take comfort knowing that even though she's lost the battle, she has won the war, already. What happens February 5th won't matter much, because Hillary has started out the "race" with a huge head start: With a goal of 2,025 delegates, Hillary already has a lead of over 100 delegates, or more than 5% of the total.

Frankly, I sort of wish Obama had won the most votes in New Hampshire, helping him win the most votes on February 5th. I'd've loved to hear the Democrats explain to all those voters that their actual votes don't matter; the party had already made their choice before the first primary, and it was Hillary.

But then I realize that most black "leaders" in America are merely Uncle Toms for the modern welfare-state plantation; they'd never dare mention how the Democrats are still disenfranchising them as surely as they did when they were wearing white robes.

Is this referring to the fact that Obama was up on HRC by like 6-8 points in the exit polling?

[dangus]

I credit his high showing with Lilly-white liberals from Iowa being afraid to vote against the black guy in public... just like the NH voters were afraid to tell the pollster they voted against him.

about 600 unpledged

I'd be real careful with that number.

Never underestimate the slimeball factor with the trailer trash from Hope crew.

Read the article. And posts 2 and 24.

Thanks for the information. Very helpful to have some idea how things work.

[dangus]

Oh, I totally agree... I wouldn’t be half surprised if Hillary didn’t have all their scrotums (scrota?) in vices.

[Jane Austen]

McCain is crazy, Rudy is a sleazy liberal, and Huckabee is stupid and now his flip flop on “anchor babies” reveals again that he is a fraud and stood by his statement long enough to fool NH voters. IMO, many who voted for McCain will vote for Hillary in the general election.

That was a funny video, I have to admit, although Obama is a Christian, as far as I know, and it’s not really fair to link him to Islamofascists, even in jest. At any rate, I don’t think Obama’s campaign has been decimated quite yet, although that was a neat trick the Clintons and their allies managed to pull off yesterday.

I’m no fan of Obama, but I do sort of hope he can somehow overcome the Clinton machine, because Hillary and Bill are the real power in the Democrat party, and have a way of winning elections, one way or another.

[dangus]

Not exactly true. The GOP has far fewer superdelegates, but they have some.

City election workers at tables set up to handle same-day registration rarely got a breather.

When the news re the shortage of ballots came out, most of us knew that the rigging of the vote was in. How many renta mobbers from nearby out of state colleges brought in to fill the auditoriums for Hill, stayed to vote, vote and vote for Hill?

How many union thugs voted, voted and voted for Hill?

How many illegal aliens were bused in to vote, vote and vote for Hill?

Will Je$$e HiJack$on and the non Reverend Al $harpton descend on NH to complain about a black candidate getting beat by the illegal Clintoon machine. Don't hold your breath.

[gruna]

Do you have some proof he is not a Christian?

And, some opponents are more dangerous than others.

It has less to do with race as it has to do with Hillary being a weak candidate with high negatives. She is a polarizing figure. That said, the Democrat establishment will suppport Hillary and so will most of the Dem base.

In the primaries, Dems vote along racial lines when the rubber meets the road. For example, when Mfume announced his run for senator to replace Sarbanes, he looked like a lock in a heavily Dem state. Mfume had served in Congress and was a past president of the NAACP. He was on paper an ideal Dem candidate. Instead, the Dem Party apparatus in MD frantically searched for a candidate and came up with Rep Cardin. Cardin won narrowly in a primary that saw voters voting along racial lines.

Obama was and is the token black candidate. He will meet the same fate as Chisolm, Jackson, and Sharpton. What will be interesting is if black Dems call in some chips and demand that Obama be placed on the ticket as VP given his showing in the primaries.

Obama has said he doesn't want to run for VP and who can blame him since Bill will be the co-president making the VP job even more worthless. However, the party may make him an offer he can't refuse. Obama has raised black expectations to a very high degree, so the party must do something to offset his defeat and not piss off their most loyal constituency.

Huckster proclaimed opposition to “anchor babies” long enough to win 3rd place and quickly flip flopped. He and Hillary should win the quickest flip flop award. Most of the others stopped at flop on the issues.

Obama Osama Yo Mama is about as Christian as Hitlery is...

[dangus]

Chris Rock has a monologue which serves as a reminder for why Obama will not be the VP nominee. He boldly proclaims he’d shoot the President if it would make a black man president (at the time, he seemed to be talking about Powell). He figured he’s spend life in jail, but would be a rule the prison as a hero.

He was joking, but some might take the point he made seriously.

Oh yeah... that and the fact that the Democratic Party would never let one of their slaves actually run the plantation.

What role for Democratic 'super-delegates'? Governors, senators, state chairs, and even Bill Clinton get automatic vote. Voters don’t choose the 842 unpledged “super-delegates” who comprise nearly 40 percent of the number of delegates needed to clinch the Democratic nomination.

Rigjht now Hillary has 183 delegates with 159 being super delegates. Obama has 78 delegates with 53 being super delegates.
